Review eResource Migration Backgrounder https://clo-collaboration-spaces.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CI/pages/81854517/eResource+Migration+-+Early+Considerations

Between now and October 22

Create list of specific electronic resources that can be identified in your ILS.

1. Create a list of your collections and individual titles loaded to your catalogue.

2. Check if the community zone already has your resources by referring to this list of items included in the Alma Community Zone: https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Alma/Content_Corner/Supporting_Resources/Alma_Community_Zone_Collection_List

3. Remove items from the list that are already in the Alma Community Zone. (Bibliographic records for collections available in the Community Zone do not need to be submitted to ExLibris for migration. These items can be activated either through your SFX, 360 link activation, or your generic eResource activation.)

4. The remaining items on your list should be resources that are NOT in the Community Zone. For each collection you must:  

   1. provide a common identifier that OCLS can use to extract the record
      Example: 996 $a EBSCO, OR the 856 $u ‘https://www.accessscience.com’

   2. ensure that the corresponding bibliographic records are packaged with your Marc record files.

Due October 22

When your list is complete, send an email to Stacey (sboileau@ocls.ca) and Jennifer (jmo@ocls.ca) at OCLS. The email must include:

• The list file attachment

• A note about whether you have individual titles to add so that OCLS can prioritize the work appropriately

Between October 26- Nov 1

If you indicate that you have NO individual titles, OCLS will deliver the completed file through MFT to Ex Libris.

Between October 26- Nov 1

If you indicated that you have individual titles:

• OCLS will provide a file to you with instructions as to what you need to manually populate.

• You will need to manually populate the file, including the bib identifier (catalog key). The catalog key can be found under the ‘Control’ tab when looking at a title record in Workflows.
  For more information, see Symphony to Alma Data Delivery and Migration Guide.

NOTE: If you do not have individual titles, OCLS will deliver the file through MFT to ExLibris.

Due November 1

You deliver the completed file through MFT to ExLibris.
